Season’s Choice Broccoli Bake and Cauliflower Bake

EDITOR’S NOTE: We originally reviewed these bakes in 2021. We bought them again in 2025 and updated this review. Aldi most recently advertised these for the week of March 25th, 2026, for $4.99 each. 

I’m always looking for ways to get more vegetables into my family’s diet. Most of my family enjoys the bags of frozen, steamable broccoli Aldi sells year round. I add butter or Parmesan cheese to it, or I stir in a spoonful of jarred cheese sauce to liven it up.

But every so often, I notice Aldi selling frozen broccoli or cauliflower with its own cheese sauce already added. I’ve tried it before and thought it was decent, if a bit runny. When this duo was in stores again recently, I picked up one bag of each to try them once more and see if they’d improved.

Season’s Choice Broccoli Bake or Cauliflower Bake cost $4.99 each for a 24-ounce package in 2025 and 2026. That’s up from $3.99 for a 24-ounce package when we first bought them in 2021.

These are both Aldi Finds, which means they’re only in stores for a short time. Each store should get one shipment, and after that sells out, they’re gone until whenever Aldi decides to bring them back. Aldi does not offer online ordering if these are out of stock at your local store.

The packages describe these as either broccoli or cauliflower with “creamy cheese sauce.” They’re both a product of Belgium. (In 2021, they were products of France.)

Each of these consists of frozen individual vegetable florets — either broccoli or cauliflower — coated with a layer of frozen cheese sauce. They pour right out of the bag and can easily be arranged in a baking dish.

If you’re watching out for allergens, the broccoli bake contains milk and wheat. It may contain crustacean shellfish, egg, fish, sesame, soy, and tree nuts. The cauliflower bake contains milk. It may contain crustacean shellfish, egg, fish, sesame, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

The broccoli bake contains broccoli, water, cream, cheese blend, whey powder, corn starch, rice starch, wheat flour, salt, cheese powder, white pepper, and nutmeg.

A 1 and 1/4-cup serving of the broccoli bake has 80 calories, 3.5 grams of total fat (4% DV), 2.5 grams of saturated fat (13% DV), less than 0.1 grams of trans fat, 260 mg of sodium (4% DV), 8 grams of total carbohydrates (11% DV), 2 grams of dietary fiber (3% DV), 4 grams of total sugars, no added sugars, and 4 grams of protein (8% DV).

The cauliflower bake contains cauliflower, water, cream, white cheddar, skim milk powder, tapioca starch, rice starch, corn starch, cheese powder, salt, rapeseed oil, and white pepper.

A 1 and 1/4-cup serving of the cauliflower bake has 90 calories, 4.5 grams of total fat (6% DV), 3 grams of total fat (15% DV), less than 0.1 grams of trans fat, 280 mg of sodium (12% DV), 8 grams of total carbohydrates (3% DV), 2 grams of dietary fiber (7% DV), 3 grams of total sugars, no added sugars, and 4 grams of protein (8% DV).

These can be prepared in a conventional oven or in the microwave, and they cook from frozen. Either way, these take a little time. They don’t cook as quickly as Aldi’s plain steamable frozen veggies that are done after 5-7 minutes in the microwave.

To bake, empty the contents into an ovenproof dish and bake on the middle rack of a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes.

To microwave, empty the frozen contents into a shallow microwave-safe dish. Cook uncovered for 7 minutes on 1000 watt power. Stir and cook for an additional 9 minutes. Let sit for 1 minute before serving. Stir once more before serving.

The 2025 versions of these bakes are much better than the 2021 versions I first tried. The updated bakes are not runny. The veggies bake up tender, and the sauce is thick and cheesy. I like both of these.

The Verdict:

Season’s Choice Broccoli Bake and Cauliflower Bake are sold frozen and heat easily in the oven or microwave. The veggies cook up tender, and there is plenty of cheese sauce. We tried these a few years ago and thought they were runny, but Aldi has since updated them, and we like the current version.
